“In its 30-year history, Fakuma has been a premier international trade fair that offers a prominent place for Ferromatik Milacron to showcase its latest solutions and technologies,” said Winfried Stöcklin, Managing Director APPT Europe. “Our goal is to help our customers succeed in their businesses and this show is a global stage to showcase the newest developments and expanded market capabilities.”
The eQ series is a high-precision electric injection molding machine, which combines ultimate accuracy and exceptional reliability across all processes, optimized energy consumption through regenerative power recovery system that stores energy during motor braking and allows up to 70% reduced melt stress. The machinery is supports additional specialized processes like thin wall moulding and multi-component moulding. This machinery line can be requested by molders across Europe and Asia. Multiple customers across Europe have committed to adding this machine line to their existing fleets.
“Our team met in person with a significant number of injection molding prospects as well as existing customers from Europe and abroad,” said Peter Kochs, Director Sales & Business Development, Europe. “Our presence in this region is vital, as molders look for complete design and engineering of standard and custom machinery for a wide array of applications. We are dedicated to building the best technology and providing unparalleled service to maintain the life of our solutions.”
